What should you advise a patient who has received a blunt injury to the eye?

Rest and apply cold compress
Come in as soon as possible to have the eye checked
Use over-the-counter eye drops
Wait for it to heal on its own

The correct answer is: Come in as soon as possible to have the eye checked

If a patient has received a blunt injury to the eye, it is important that they come in as soon as possible to have the eye checked. Rest and cold compress may provide temporary relief, but it is crucial to have the eye examined by a doctor to ensure that there are no serious injuries or internal damage that may not be apparent to the patient. Using over-the-counter eye drops may also provide some relief, but they should never be a substitute for seeking medical attention. Waiting for the eye to heal on its own is also not advisable as it may lead to further complications and delay proper treatment.
